Wladimir Klitschko has revealed his next opponent could be Britain’s Dereck Chisora and that the fight could take place in London.
Klitschko, who now holds the WBO, IBF and WBA title belts, pulled out of two fights against Chisora because of injury, but yesterday described the British fighter as a “logical” challenger for his next fight.
“I will be fighting again this year. We’ll see what happens in the next few weeks, who’s coming up and also the result of the Chisora-Fury fight.”
“Chisora would be one of the logical opponents for me.
“Vitali and I have concentrated mostly on fighting in a couple of countries but it would be challenging to fight maybe in the Ukraine or in London,” said the Germany-based Ukrainian whose only fight in the UK came 11 years ago against Monte Barrett in Millwall.
“I came to London for a press conference a couple of weeks ago (before the Haye fight) and I received such warmness and awareness from the British fans, there were so many Klitschko fans here,’ he said.
“It was amazing to see how much interest and support they gave me. It was pretty significant that we have a fan base here in the UK so it makes sense to fight in the UK as well.”
